Hey you! Bored of the truth?

Are you, like so many other people, bored of hearing the same tired out anecdotes of things that actually happened, like history, geography and science? Do you long to hear of things outside the dreary framework of normality? Do you feel constricted by only believing things with some kind of logical basis?
Then you need THE HACKENTHORPE BOOK OF LIES!
Eight hundred pages of staggering, shocking and totally untrue facts, figures and statements are yours to own TODAY!
Did you know that 'Nerve Gas' spelled backwards is 'John F Kennedy?'
Did you know that Sirithil Nos Feanor is really a rabbit in a complex mechanical exoskeleton?
Did you know that money really does make the world go round, but only on Wednesdays?
Pick up YOUR copy today!
The Hackenthorpe Book of Lies is available from all good bookstores, and most really BAD bookstores.
It's also just a daft joke from IRC, and isn't exactly IC.
OOC: Hey, you might know, GMC. What happened to Siri? I need her around in order to formally withdraw from the protectorate treaty... though if she comes back she smite me because of my recent actions.
Catch-22, that.
Semi-IC:
The Roanian Government has promptly added the Hackenthorpe Book of Lies to its ban list, and anyone caught reading it will be flogged.
Princess Malissa made an announcement today, stating: "For the last time, just because something is denied doesn't make it true! What are you, British civil servants? I AM NOT WEARING A FULL BODY PLASTIC SUIT!"

How much does it cost?
What?!
Those are lies? Dammit. That'll teach me to buy second-rate encyclopedias. Now I have to re-educated my whole populace!
Hm. On second thought...
Send me lots.

How much does it cost?
The cost is exactly £9.99, although that is, in practise, almost certainly also a lie.
Did you know that money really does make the world go round, but only on Wednesdays?
"What, so that is where our money is going!"
The Federation of Wetland issues an arrest warrant for the world.
If you see it do not try to apprehend it but call the authority's. It is believed to be armed and dangerous. :lol:

Can we order a copy from you at that price?
The price is to include any shipping and handling fees, or other hidden costs.

Random Ineffable Paparazi Photographer: "What? The Roanian Princess is wearing a full body plastic suit? Quickly, everyone take pictures and post them on the internet" *gets out camera and starts taking photos*
Somewhere, in a more sane part of the world, or maybe just the Ineffable Palace...
The Great Ineffable Bob announces he would like to purchase 70,000 copies, as although technically it's the smartest citizens who want to buy it, nobody in the country except the government is allowed to have any money or contact the outside world, but since they haven't rebelled yet, TGI Bob is getting them a present.

Now FREE with every copy comes the ultimate naval combatant for the 21st century! Literally unstoppable on sea, land, air, space or your kitchen table, it also slices, dices and makes this really strange whirring noise that you genuinely won't want to investigate further. A clear match for Dreadnoughts, Superdreadnoughts, Dreadafewthingsnoughts and Afraidofthedarknoughts, BEHOLD!

Boats wired. Be sure to water them regularly or something, and don't stand too near the telephone until your boats have been wired or you will be among the dead, mortal.

"Wot? Wozzis... I am not a rather runty badger! If I was a rather runty badger, my men would have told me!" Koin mach Fortbunkerholdcastle mutters. Fortbunkerholdcastle is, in fact, a rather runty seal living in a small hole. "Damn Book of Lies."
